Manage erection teams, riggers, welders, and specialty contractors during installation
Ensure proper use of lifting equipment (cranes, forklifts) and adherence to safe erection practices
Monitor alignment, plumbness, verticality, and dimensional tolerances during assembly
Oversee installation of roofing systems, wall cladding, insulation, flashings, gutters, downspouts, doors, windows, and accessories
Quality Assurance & Testing
Implement quality control procedures for both fabrication and erection phases
Conduct pre-erection checks of foundation levels, anchor bolt positions, and base plate grouting
Monitor welding quality through visual inspection and NDT (Non-Destructive Testing) when specified
Verify bolt tightening torque values and connection integrity
Inspect roof and wall panel installation for proper overlaps, sealing, and weather-tightness
Document quality checks through inspection reports and photographic records
Project Planning & Scheduling
Develop detailed erection schedules coordinating fabrication delivery with site readiness
Plan material staging areas, temporary works, and site logistics
Coordinate PEB activities with civil foundation work, MEP installations, and finishing trades
Track progress against milestones and implement recovery plans for delays
Manage material inventory and ensure availability of fasteners, sealants, and accessories
Safety Management
Enforce safety protocols for working at heights, lifting operations, and steel erection activities
Conduct daily safety briefings and toolbox talks specific to PEB erection hazards
Ensure proper use of fall protection systems, safety harnesses, and personal protective equipment
Coordinate with safety officers to implement safe work permits for hot work, crane operations, and confined spaces
Investigate safety incidents and implement corrective actions
Vendor & Contractor Coordination
Manage relationships with PEB manufacturers, erection contractors, and material suppliers
Review and approve subcontractor method statements and risk assessments
Monitor subcontractor performance and compliance with contract requirements
Coordinate third-party inspections and certifications as required

Identify cost optimization opportunities in design and construction methods
Track variations and prepare claims documentation when scope changes occur
Client & Stakeholder Management
Liaise with clients, consultants, structural engineers, and regulatory authorities
Provide regular project updates and address client concerns
Coordinate building inspections and obtain necessary approvals and certifications
Support final handover activities and client orientation
